~Andy~

Hello Andy, here is a bit about me incase your viewing and you wish to know more. I must admit to you right now before I get started, I've got a rocky history and some people that are in my history aren't in my future. Rest in Peace <3 Carolyn <3 Best mother ever

~General Information~

My name is Andrew, everyone calls me Andy for short. I am about 4 years old, I will turn 5 on December 26. I currently have no mate and no children of my own. I would like to some day and I wish I could find someone that I love dearly. I've fallen in love before but that was only for a short while, since me and the lady didn't work out after a while. Well, to tell you a bit about myself I enjoy sports. I love playing fetch and being hitched to the sled and getting a good days worth of running. Some people don't like me because I'm a wolf but that's okay. Um, I love the snow and I really love children. Human and animal. My favorite thing to do is to go and play or to go and visit all the sick children. I know that my adorablness comforts them, but almost always frightens their parents.

~Personality~

My attitude toward life is very greatful and I enjoy being in Nome. I am really sweet and soft spoken but I always will protect the ones I love, though I don't like to resort to violence. I am very energetic when being outside but inside I'm calm and relaxed. I'm a natural born leader and my master knows that. I have a slight tendancy to get bored easily and sometimes I just start finding trouble around the house, like messing with the cat. She hates me. Over all though I'm very easy to get along with and I hate to be yelled at or blamed by anyone. I like the freedom feeling and I enjoy being outside the town where I can just run free. I hate to be judged by I just can't help who I am. I am not perfect.

~History~

Well to begin, I was actually born in the Northwest Arctic, right before my pack migrated the 1,900 miles all the way down to Nome Alaska. While I was still just a young pup growing up, I actually met the dog who would soon save the children of Nome. A brave young dog named Balto. My mother, Carolyn, wanted me to befriend him so that I would be able to find a good and truthful friend while getting used to seeing humans. The days were long and cold but I survived through them. Everyday after hunting practice and after my mother gave me a good grooming I would take the 10 minute walk and go to join Balto and Jenna as they had their morning strolls around town. Everybody thought that I was so adorable and that I would be the next Balto some day, only because I was a wolf like Balto was. It took me a full year to understand fully now how Balto felt, when I tried to walk into town and got worse looks than ever before. What happened to the people that though I was cute? I was still the same wolf, though I had grown a few more inches taller and my teeth were a bit larger. I began to try and drift away but Balto always wanted me around for some reason, I guess trying to get me to make something of myself while I stayed there. One night I had actually spent 2 days in the town with only Balto as my helper. I wish I could take those days back and re-write history. I guess that the members in my pack had thought that I left, so they left me... Abandoned in the lonely town of Nome, leaving me to be at my own desire. I was scared for the first few weeks, since I would travel out till the weather got bad then come back. I was only trying to find my mother. One day though, while wandering through a blizzard I found my mother! But it wasn't as happy as I though it would be. I found her body, half covered in snow, limp and lifeless. She had froze to death, and the pack had left her behind. I was devastated. Mad at the world and at myself for allowing this to happen. She didn't deserve to die alone and I didn't have the right to leave her. For a day or two I'd lay next to her, cuddling to try and see if she was only sleeping. Hoping that she would open her beautiful blue eyes and look at me and tell me how much she missed me. But that day never came. On the third day, her fur began to come off as her body decayed, I knew I had to leave. By now though, the pack was hundreds of miles away and I knew they weren't coming back.

I journied back to Nome and told Balto what happened, he took pity on me by telling me everything would be okay. Though I knew it wouldn't. The only girl in my life, the one who had raised me from birth wasn't with me to watch me grow. She would never be able to see me have my very first race. She wouldn't be able to help me anymore, or give me guidance. Well the days seemed to grow longer and longer as I sat in a deep depression, Balto and Jenna both failing to comfort me. I thought my life had ended, until one day Balto told me to follow him. Something told me not to but I complied anyway, now I'm glad I did. While being in the town me and Balto actually tried to run a sled together. I didn't like it at first, the weight pulling behind me though was too easy. After a few runs though, I soon began to fall in love with the sport, competeing in smaller competitions that were leading to the Iditarod. I took part in it, as an actual lead dog. But since I had no owner, nobody could really claim the prize after I won. But Balto's owner decided to take me in and I was soon living with Balto and Jenna for a few years. Something changed in the family though after Balto and Jenna had their children, I felt as though I was just a third wheel now, always in the way. So I left that family, not long after I managed to join another. It was a single family. A family with a husband and a wife but no children. Though that part made me sad, I still tried to enjoy myself. It was a few more weeks before I won a second blue ribbon just racing for smaller competitions. The refs though thought I had an unfair advantage, being wolf and all. My owner though didn't care and he loves me still. One day actually they are going to get papers for me, saying that I am legally able to be a racer! I'm excited for this.
